SBR: Shouting from the Back Row

Are there really 30 teams that want Lebron? Are the Lakers really cooked without him? Is Jaylen Brown really a cancer? Does Kawhi really make Toronto contenders? Or is the NBA Media really just the Matrix.

Why are teams selling out over Giannis and LaMelo when Ja and Jaylen are much better buys?

Questioning early off-season moves: Should the Lakers re-sign Lebron? Does Giannis to Miami even make sense? Where should Jaylen Brown go? And what should Washington do now?

In this ep, we ask the question: Is Big Body Brunson now at the top of the heap? And has Wemby's heel turn actually changed the trajectory of his career?

Is it over or can the Spurs recover? Where does Wemby's Game 2 fumble rank in all time chokes? Has Jalen Brunson been one of the best clutch players in playoff history? Also, check us out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SBRpod

The Spurs are heavy favorites to beat the Knicks. Is it justified? Is Wemby ready to ascend to the throne? And after flaming out in game 7, are Chet and SGA overrated or over-hated?

Is this Knicks team historically great? How do they stack up against the '01 Lakers or '17 Warriors? And has Wemby ascended to #1 Player Status?

Will the Spurs dethrone the Thunder or will we finally have a back-to-back champion (the first since 2018)?

What should the Lakers do now that they've been eliminated? Is there any hope for a Championship future? Also, are the Knicks legitimate championship contenders?

Cliff and Joe recap the first round of the playoffs including Orlando's collapse, Boston's 3 point happy early exit, and Denver getting punked by Jaden McDaniels and Terrence Shannon Jr. Also, do the Lakers have any chance against OKC?

Can the Lakers beat the Rockets? Can anyone stop OKC? Is SGA the new Kobe?

It's not winning, rings, or even stats. Also, why KD should absolutely NOT be on Space Jam Squad.

In this episode the Cliff and Joe discuss how much better the Lakers are without Lebron. Also, should they trade for Giannis in the offseaon? (Spoiler alert: NO)

We discuss some of the recent trades and possible trades still looming. Which make sense? Which could possibly affect the NBA landscape?

Will Cooper Flagg bring the Mavs back to prominence? Will the Knicks make the Finals? Does Giannis to Orlando make sense?

In this ep, we discuss whether or not Austin Reaves deserves to be an All Star this year based on his performance so far. Also, is OKC beatable? Should teams trade for Giannis? And we discuss the state of the Clippers and the most unstoppable force in the NBA.

In the span of 10 months, the Mavs traded Luka, lost Kyrie to injury, drafted Cooper Flagg, lost AD to injury, and fired their GM, Nico Harrison. Needless to say, this is not going according to plan. What's next for them? Also, should the Lakers trade for AD? And should the Grizzles, Pelicans, and Hornets blow it up or glow it up?

The NBA is back!! Cliff and Joe irrationally react to the first week of the NBA Season. Is Webmy the #1 player in the NBA? Is V. J. Edgecombe the clearcut ROY? Who is the team to beat in the West? Find out!

Cliff and Joe finish their top 50 for 2025-26. Is Lebron still top 10? Are KD and Steph still top tier players? And has SGA surpassed Jokic? Also, they promised not to talk about Zion anymore and they already broke that promise. Oops.

Cliff and Joe continue their top 50 for 2025-26. Is Embiid a top 50 player? What's the Warriors' one problem? Is Derrick White the GOAT?

Cliff and Joe discuss their top 50 NBA players for the 2025-26 season.

We were going to do Top 50 BUT Pable Torre and the basketball gods had others plans. Who's to blame Kawhi, Unc, Aspiration, Ballmer, or some other mystery player in the drama?

Is Luka's Body transformation a big deal or not? Also, we break down all the problems with Squid Game S3. Get ready. As per usual, it's a bit off the rails. Enjoy!

Cliff and Joe recap recent off-season moves by the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks, and Suns. Are these GMs executing master plans or total scams?

OKC wins the finals in somewhat unsatisfying fashion, KD is traded for not much, but the most exciting news of the week: there's a new owner in LA and it's a familiar face.
